1.4.1.5.3. The Quick RatioAnother important measure of a company’s ability to stay afloat is the quick ratio, which essentially measures the same thing as the current ratio above. However, there is one key difference between the current ratio and the quick ratio: the quick ratio does not include inventory among the assets counted on the top line of the equation. Thus, the formula is:
As opposed to the current ratio, the quick ratio is meant to give a sense of a company’s ability to stay afloat without having to liquidate its inventory. Selling inventory can be difficult to accomplish in the short term. Naturally, a company with a ton of inventory but not a ton of cash would look less attractive using the quick ratio compared to the current ratio.
Here’s an example of how the ABC Company’s quick ratio of 0.75 was calculated based on the following amounts found on its balance sheet:
$1,000,000
Cash

TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
I passed the Series 65 with a 92% thanks to the Solomon practice exams. The questions on the practice exams were very similar to what I actually encountered on the actual exam, and the ability to take unlimited practice exams really built my knowledge and confidence. I highly recommend this product to anyone studying for the Series 65.

Thank you Solomon, 87% on the series 65. I thought I was nervous showing up to the exam, but the material was well above par.
thanks again

I wanted to thank you for your help several weeks ago. The practice questions were very helpful. I passed the exam (Series 65) on the first try with a solid score.

I wanted to add my testimonial to the long list of successful test-takers. Passed my Series 65 today on the first try! The materials were well written and made the concepts easier to understand (especially to someone with no background in finance like myself). I was a big fan of the audio format as I have a long drive back and forth to work (other test prep providers did not have this option). The test simulators were also a huge help. Thanks to the folks at Solomon Prep!

I am 73 years old and have been retired for 5 years. My fulfilling career of 38 years was mainly as a portfolio manager in a trust setting. A good friend of mine recently started an RIA and asked me to consider coming to work for him. Since I loved my job and retirement is boring in comparison, the decision to jump back in was rather easy. You know the old saying: if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. But yes, I must first pass Series 65. The study materials and whole program you have constructed are excellent. I read the phone-book sized reading materials and took many practice exams on the website. Just this morning I sat for the test and passed. Hooray!! I am convinced that your test preparation process made the exam seem easy. So I will recommend to anyone preparing for a securities exam to definitely consider getting your program. Thanks again for your outstanding program and guidance."

Love Solomon, I tried other companies and the ones I used didn't prepare me. Solomon teaches you the concepts and the practice tests helped me pass my Series 65, 63, and the 6 on my first try. I've had no less than four of my friends use Solomon and they have all had similar success. Work hard with the correct study material and you will have success.
